If every man stood by the women they knocked up, abortion would be a non-starter. Abortion is a man’s issue.

Platitudes don’t solve problems.

The points I’ve been making lead to this:

Strong arming the population to deciding in the black and white of abortion isn’t working. It’s a wedge issue that is further alienating the GOP from the general population, causing us to lose even more ground.

Here is the important part: Politics (and society) are not quantum. Quantum means you can easily transition from one point of view to the other diametrically opposing view point. That’s not going to happen and trying to make it happen at this point just further diminishes our argument and drives us apart from the voting public.

Soften our stance and lure them back to the right is the best approach. Then keep luring them right until societies dysfunction is corrected.

If you want to brow beat, at least do it right. Get a picture of a post-abortion lump of torn apart flesh with the twisted face and blank eyes of the Fetus and slap it on a billboard with the caption “Mother, what have you done”.

That picture would be worth more then the 100’s of thousands of words that a virulently anti-abortion proponent could write — from the Pope on down to the lowliest church member.
